25 years ago … from the December �2, �983 DXN: John Clements - Sun Valley, CA reported that he had tried a German Martens loop and had found it very effective; in fact, his girlfriend planned to import and resell it.

�0 years ago … from the December 7, �998 DXN: R. J. Edmunds - Blue Bell, PA commented that if it hadn’t been for the X-band and TIS there wouldn’t have been a DX season for him so far!.

From the Publisher … We noted some light snow this morning in Topeka, which can only mean that optimum DX conditions are just around the corner!

We’ve received reports of DXN’s arriving with obvious mail sorting machinery damage (and we’ve pulled a few DXN’s from the mailbox that have been lightly scuffed to heavily damaged ourselves), and at this point all we can say is that we’re working on the problem.

John Malicky - 995 Shadycrest Rd. - Pittsburgh, PA 15216-3046 still has a number of 2008 NRC Convention refrigerator magnets left, at $3.00 each or 2 for $5.00; they look just like the centerpiece of the convention cake in V. 76, #8, p. 21.

George Hamer - 3000 Ocean Parkyway, Apt. 10M - Brooklyn, NY 11235 is in need of someone to repair his Panasonic RF 4900, specifically the BCB loopstick. A quick search online reveals no one of-fering either Panasonic or Sony receiver repair.

believe a whole generation has gone by since last I graced the Musings pages. I just figured it had been way too long to be away. I have remained active in the DX hobby over all these years having begun logging stations dating back to 1966. As a re-intro I am 57, married to Jeannette since 1992; we have traveled widely over this time. In fact I am also a member of the Extra-Miler Club, a county-counting club, that I share interest in with some other NRCers. I have visited all 50 states, completing them in 1987, shortly before I attended the Lima, Ohio convention that year. I have also been to all 50 U.S. capital cities; last one was reached in 2004 via Baton Rouge, LA. I also attended the NRC convention in Lima in 2002 and saw many of you there. I was happy to attend this years’ confab in Pittsburgh, now as member. It was good to see many familiar faces, and what a super job John Malicky did as host. Congrats on your effort John! It was fun to be a part of Pittsburgh’s bi-sesquicentennial celebra-tion (250 year anniversary-wow!). I am currently a dispatcher for the Sylvania, PD, Ohio department where I have worked for the past 31 years, (nearing retirement, hi!). Before that I worked in radio as an on-air personality in the mid-70s at WTUU 1520 Toledo when it was a C&W station (now WNWT-news, talk & some sports & some jazz) as well as at WCWA 1230 Toledo when the station was MOR (soft rock of the day-now oldies); they are now Fox Sports. Those were fun jobs, but oh so little pay. I hope to resume that part of my life again now that taking a low paying job is not as problematic as back then, hi! As I mentioned I have continued DXing thru the years; in fact I now have 3,550 stations heard on AM from 49 states, 10 provinces, 60 countries and 5 continents. (I never really got into col-lecting veries but have picked off a few thru some contacts I have made to stations over the years, usually by phone calls made often to let them know their station was heard in Toledo; I would make sure I had good details of what I heard when I talked to them.) Of course as AM DXers we now are listening at a challenging time. Between notorious non-IDers and more highly crowded frequencies than ever, finding that needle in the haystack is getting tougher. On top of all that even the broadcast-ers themselves have created a reception monster of their own in the form of IBOC HD-Digital which I don’t have to tell you is creating a messy hiss all over the dial and ruining skywave conditions in the process. Of all the noise that can occur on AM thru various means who would have ever thought the broadcasters themselves would be a contributory source of it. These people have lost all sensibility! If IBOC doesn’t fail it will be the end for AM as we know it. I was able to pluck WEBO-1330 Owego, NY on 10/24/08 at 0630 with ID, news sounder and local news stories as my most recent catch. These are getting rarer and rarer. I hope we get some good tests this season, and preferably on non IBOC affected frequencies. It may be the only source for getting new stations. The IBOC situation has certainly hurt the TA reception I’m sad to say. I’ve had TA splits on many uncommon dial positions but alas some have been hurt by nearby IBOC generating stations. Who knows how good this season could have been given the record low sunspot levels had not the IBOC disaster been thrust on us. Last year I was able to get audio off the Ireland 567, which was new. among others last November. We can only hope this year that somehow more will make it in, but the side-channel hiss will not help one bit. So much has changed in the hobby from when we in Toledo hosted the club convention in 1974; we’ll need to adapt. 73’s

DDXD-WestFROM THE VAST WESTLAND

It was nice to hear from John Sampson this week. John was doing some listening during his last few days in Minnesota before making the move to his winter digs in Arizona, and sends along some logs. Please keep in touch this winter, John, and we will keep thinking of you every time it dips below zero here!

Soon-to-be DDXD-West editor Greg Harris is the latest to report hearing the new facilities of KFI to this column (see “Regular Loggings” 640 below). Congratulations, Greg! Speaking of Greg and his upcoming editorship, I have a favor to ask of all reporters. Could you please copy Greg on all log-gings sent to me for the balance of my editorship? His e-mail address is west_logs@yahoo.com. This is a prelude to 1/2/09, the last day of my editorship, after which all loggings should go to Greg. Greg and I will work on your loggings together for a couple of weeks leading up to and a couple of weeks after he takes over. Thank you for your cooperation! 73 Bill

Station News 1010 WPPI MN Sauk Rapids. I’ve been monitoring this off and on during the summer and

haven’t heard a peep from them. Given what I think is their antenna pattern, they should be quite strong here during the day, so I suspect that whatever testing they’re doing has been done while I’m not listening to 1010. (JS-MN) (Station was reported as on the air in AMS #76-1 back in September. John is about 115 miles NNE of Sauk Rapids. Is there anyone in the general Saint Cloud area who can confirm the status of this station? If so, please drop me a line. Ed.-WI)

1510 KCTE MO Independence. This station was forced off the air Thursday 11/20 by a trans-mitter fire, according to an 11/21 item on the Bottom Line Communications website (thanks to Tim Kridel on the IRCA list for drawing our attention to this). DDXD-W contributor J.E. Lewis of Kansas City confirmed that as of 11/26 the station was still off air. (Still off 11-29 -pls.) Meantime on the same day Bottom Line Communications was reporting that the station had to re-place the transmitter and that it would be the following week at midweek (around 12/3) before it expected to return. We’ll keep you posted. (Ed.-WI)

1550 WZRK WI Lake Geneva. In last week’s AMS Bill Hale reported that this station has gone silent, “possibly for good.” Lake Geneva DXer Gerry Dexter confirms from monitoring that the station has indeed gone silent. As for the “possibly for good” goes, I have seen at least one report (unconfirmed) that the station was sold to a company whose intention was to take it dark. (Ed.-WI)

5Presumed, Tentative, UnID

550 UNID 11/12 0240. Man with talk with two musical interludes. Neither interlude was country music, so this was not usual KUZZ CA. Probably KFYI AZ or KOAC OR. Poor but somewhat readable underneath KMVI HI. (DP-HI)

740 UNID 11/20 0620-0641. Very poor though steady under Toronto with non-stop C&W, no breaks, no stops, sweeps, zilch. Didn’t jive with needed KBOE IA. Who izzit? Help! (JJR-WI)

750 UNID 11/24 0750. Noted talk in east European language, Polish maybe, mixing with KMMJ’s EE religion. Briefly fair but soon faded. WNDZ? (JW-CO)

1140 CHRBt AB High River. 11/24 0057. AC music (sounded like “praise music”), promo for “Focus on the Family Weekend Magazine,” ID missed; C&W music. Poor; over then under KHTK CA, no sign of usual SS station. (DP-HI)

Regular DX Loggings (times in ELT) 580 CFRA ON Ottawa. 11/11 2055. Great signal with talk show and local ads, slight QRM

from WKTY La Crosse WI, which is usually on top of 580 (interesting fre-quency here since CKY and CKPR vacated); haven’t heard CFRA since the early 1950s in Des Moines when they were on 560. (JS-MN)

630 WREY MN Saint Paul. 11/18 1330. Strong with SS; up until several years ago, this station (with another call) was almost impossible to hear during the day until they moved their transmitter to the Twin Cities area, now they’re dominant day and night; thought they had to protect Winnipeg, even though CKRC moved from 630 years ago. (JS-MN)

640 KFI CA Los Angeles. 11/23 0557. ID by deep voiced male announcer “KFI” followed by 3 “jarring notes.” Then a sung jingle-type ID “KFI” by female chorus. Fair in WCRV and WOI null (or mostly nulled out anyway). Not new but not heard here since 1972. (GH-IL)

690 WOKV FL Jacksonville. 11/22 0652. Poor to fair through WLW 700 IBOC. Traffic, weather, calls over all. (JJR-WI)

740 WDGY WI Hudson. 11/18 1300. Good with oldies; KVOX phased almost to nothing; WDGY (or one of its call letter iterations) was quite strong here before KVOX came on a couple of years ago, now KVOX dominates 740 here during the day. (JS-MN)

750 WNDZ IN Portage. 11/18 1730. Very strong at sign-off; slight QRM from CKJH. (JS-MN)

750 CKJH SK Melfort. 11/18 2300. Dominating with Melfort hockey game, several announce-ments as “CK750.” (JS-MN)

750 CKJH SK Melfort. 11/22 0715. Poor in WSB null. Promo with “Oldies CK750.” (JJR-WI)

790 WAYY WI Eau Claire. 11/24 0659. Legal ID by male voice at 0659:50: “This is the Voice of the Valley WAYY Eau Claire-Chippewa Falls and on demand at wayy790.com”; ABC news was next at 0700. Fair signal. (JW-CO)

800 WNNW MA Lawrence. 11/26 1611. Fair, at times atop CKLW which wasn’t yet in at night-time strength. Lively SS Tropical music, then a guy in SS giving holiday greetings and a “...Power … felicidades” mention which was later heard by the same guy when I checked the webstream from inside. New !! (NK-WI)

810 WMGC TN Murfreesboro. 11/25 2258. SS music; legal ID in SS with calls in EE, “La Sa-brosita” slogan. Good and in the clear in null of WGY. Needed call change here, ex-WAPB. Thanks to Neil Kazaross who on 11/21 posted a tip on the NRC dxtip list, revealing just how well WMGC’s six watts of night power (5 kW days) was reaching the Chicago area! (Ed.-WI)

820 WCPT IL Willow Springs. 11/19 1735. Surfaced off and on with talk and local ads; much QRM from CHAM, who normally dominates 820 here at night along with WCCO 830’s useless IBOC digihash. (JS-MN)

840 WRYM CT New Britain. 11/26 1619. Good to very good, hammering WHAS with lively SS tropical music into local ads. USB used to avoid strong QRM from Canar-ies 837. (NK-WI)

850 WAIT IL Crystal Lake. 11/19 1630. Strong with CNN news and Chicagoland weather; in null of semi-local WWJC Duluth. (JS-MN)

890 WAMG MA Dedham. 11/26 1615. Good to very good clobbering phased WLS (didn’t really need to phase them but it helped) with local phone numbers during a break

6in the Lew and Mike show. LSB to avoid the big 891 Algeria het. (NK-WI)

900 CKBI SK Prince Albert. 11/24 0545. Station ID “CKBI,” then country and western music. Poor signal. (GH-KS)

910 WLAT CT New Britain. 11/26 2241. Fair, good peaks and nearly alone with little trace of usual Disney pest from MI, light QRM from 909 UK het. Tropical SS music and then SS chatter by a gal and “La Mega” ID. Was dominant a bit over half the time during the next several minutes but when I went inside after 2300 and checked with the R8B/Kiwa Loop there was absolutely no trace. New ! (NK-WI)

980 WITY IL Danville. 11/25 1459. Poor to fair and in the clear with legal ID: “Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas from (Illinois’?) best choice for 55 years. This is WITY Danville” to ABC news. Distance was 227 miles in mid-afternoon from this 1 kW station. Local WHA 970 had its IBOC off (as it has for a week now), making this improbable midday logging possible. (Ed.-WI)

1010 WCNL NH Newport. 11/26 1623. Fair to good well atop CFRB (hadn’t fully achieved normal crushing night strength yet). Noted in passing (lucky) with “WCNL weather ... log onto Country1010.com....” New State #47 from WI. (NK-WI) (Kaz tells me that his one missing Lower 48 state from Grafton is Delaware, a state that he has logged from his Barrington IL home. Ed.-WI)

1040 CKST BC Vancouver. 11/19 0045. In and out with sports talk and several local ads; was able to null WHO with the loop and get a good log on this much wanted sta-tion; lots of “Team 1040” IDs; loved to get something on 1040 besides WHO! (JS-MN)

1070 KNX CA Los Angeles. 11/10 2225. Woman with traffic, mentioning “traffic and weather together on the fives on Newsradio 10-70 KNX,” man with weather forecast, saying “it’s 67 degrees at the CBS studios on the Miracle Mile,” ad, 7:27 time check, item on thrift stores. Poor to fair before sunset. (DP-HI)

1090 KSOU IA Sioux Center. 11/16 1802. Interrupted their “Precious Memories” program with a brief “good-bye” to the 1090 station and then left the air; unusually strong, surprising since they don’t throw much power this way. (JS-MN)

1190 WNWC WI Sun Prairie. 11/17 1555. Somewhat strong with religious programming but faded right after station ID; heavy QRM from WOWO. (JS-MN)

1200 WCHB MI Taylor. 11/16 1700. Up and down with Gospel music and a good ToH ID; heavy QRM from KFNW Fargo and WRTO Chicago. (JS-MN)

1220 KDDR ND Oakes. 11/20 0824. Hockey and basketball scores; “Dakota Country” slogan, followed by ag news. Fair at best with local KLDC briefly off the air-- they came back on at 0831. (JW-CO)

1240 WSDR IL Sterling. 11/20 0600. Poor with clear legal ID, CBS news in mess. (JJR-WI) 1270 WXYT MI Detroit. 11/14 1800. Good with sports and lots of local ads; lots of QRM. (JS-

MN)1290 WMCS WI Greenfield.11/171615. Surprisingly good with talk when loop pointed south-

west; some QRM (don’t know who). (JS-MN) 1300 WOOD MI Grand Rapids. 11/14 2030. Fair to okay with hockey game and local ads; was

able to null KGLO, who usually dominates 1300 here at night. (JS-MN) 1310 KOKX IA Keokuk. 11/24 0751. Local ads with 319 area code. Weak under the mix. (GH-

IL) 1390 WTJS TN Jackson. 11/22 0644. Very poor with promo for other stations in area cluster.

(JJR-WI) 1420 WHK OH Cleveland. 11/12 1800. Good in the null of KTOE with lots of ads. (JS-MN) 1510 WRRD WI Waukesha. 11/19 1400. Very strong with “ESPN Deportes”; normally comes

in here well in late afternoon but was dominating 1510 in mid-day, most unusual. (JS-MN)

1570 WNDA IN New Albany. 11/20 0606. Poor; “NewsTalk1570 WNDA,” station and web info, then back to mess. (JJR-WI)

1580 KOKB OK Blackwell. 11/20 2259. Wrap-up of OSU-Tulsa basketball game on OSU Net-work; local ID at 2259:45: “You’re listening to Oklahoma State University sports on 1580 KOKB Blackwell,” with no mention of KOKP or KOSB (FM); back to wrap-up after the ID. Very likely not on 49-watt night power at this time, as they should have been. (JW-CO)

1580 KAMI NE Cozad. 11/21 0855. Last few minutes of “Insight for Living;” FM/AM legal ID at 0859: “KCVN Cozad-Kearney-North Platte, KAMI Cozad, a service of

7Bott Radio Network,” then back to Bott programming. Good on peaks. (JW-CO)

1640 KFXY OK Enid. 11/13 2000. Good with sports; QRM from WKSH WI. (JS-MN)
